LANACare was founded in 1990 by the Danish nurse Jeannette Almstrøm in Denmark. As a mother of 3 children, Jeannette Almstrøm has developed a range of products for mothers and babies in organic, pure merino wool.

Her background as a nurse and a professional education in textiles & design proved to be a perfect combination of skills. Each LANACare item is designed to promote the health and well-being of mother and baby, providing the soothing comfort and breathable warmth that only pure wool can provide.

Today, all LANACare activities are managed by Jeannette Almtrøm herself, who is passionate about finding new and sustainable materials for use in new products that not only promote the health of an individual, but also that of our Mother Earth.

Over the years, LANACare production and distribution volumes have evolved enormously. The products are now sold in 28 countries around the world.

The selected wool for LanaCare products is treated with special care. We only use wool that meets the highest European environmental requirements. Regular tests prove that our wool is free of harmful substances. The pastures where the sheep graze are free of fertilizers and pesticides and no harsh chemicals are used to wash the wool. Only the softest merino wool is used for the LANACare products.

LanaCare only uses certified, chemically untreated organic wool.

LanaCare wool has the International Oeko-Tex certificate issued by the Switzerland-based International Association for Research and Testing in the field of textile ecology (Oeko-Tex), and recently also the KbT certificate. This certificate is awarded if the pastures where the sheep graze are free of fertilizers and pesticides and no harsh chemicals are used to wash the wool. The wool is just as pure on our sheep as it is later in the clothes for your baby.

LANACare products have the following international certificates:

GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognized as the leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers worldwide. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textile supply chain and also requires compliance with social criteria.
IVN BEST and KBT – Naturtextil IVN certified BEST This quality seal, well known in Europe, currently sets the strictest ecological standard for textile production at the highest technical level that is currently achievable.
BEST reflects the standards for environmentally friendly textiles developed by the International Association of Natural Textile Industry (IVN) since 1990 and assesses the entire textile production chain in terms of both ecological standards and social responsibility.
IVN Best exceeds the GOTS standard, which allows up to 30% non-organic fibres. Production under IVN complies with the GOTS standard. Using the IVN stamp requires membership and certification to IVN standards.
Wools in IVN supply chain programs come from certified organic livestock farming (also known as kbT).
No mulesing has been applied to the sheep – a highly criticized method of 'vaccination' of the sheep in Australia.
LANAcare Breast cream has been awarded the 'A' label by the Danish Consumer Association, because no problematic chemicals were found in the cream.
